Title: No IGT signature is found

I'm guessing this has to be a low battery issue. This machine has been powered down for around 6 months. Will I need an E Key to resolve this problem?

I think it will depend on how far the batteries have drained. Easy enough to find out, just regular button batteries.

No, that's not it.  Either your grey ribbon cable is loose, or your hard drive or SSD is bad.

I checked the gray ribbon cable & it's plugged in as far as I can tell.

I've got an EKey 7 now, should I try changing the batteries & re setting the machine?

No signature found means the game can't read boot 1 or boot 2 chips. I would try to reseat both first, and then go for a new Serial ATA card. I have had the chips go bad too.

Then it's boot 2,  If boot 1 is bad, you get nothing on screen as that is the BIOS for the mainboard, no bios, no message.  Boot2 is the IGT firmware rom.

I have the same problem, did you ever solve your own problem?

Unfortunately no, I gave up on it for the time being

I bought a new CPU from Spin and had it shipped to a shop in Ohio which does slots, they programmed it and shipped it back to me and everything works and is good to go.
